donations to our chosen charity
Every year AFF donates 15% of net income after costs of the 3 club races, the Flitwick 10k, the Marston 5K and the Ampthill Trophy to the charity we have selected.
Throughout 2023, we have chosen to support two charities close to the hearts of two of our members. Thrombosis UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Thrombosis UK works tirelessly to increase awareness, research and understanding of thrombosis and to improve care for those affected. Find out more about Thrombosis UK.
Macmillan Cancer Support help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can. They provide financial, physical, and emotional support to the three million people in the UK living with cancer. Find out more about Macmillan Cancer Support.
In addition to the club donation, we will also undertake other fund-raising activities to help raise much needed money for these amazing charities.
